It can be eaten with rice,idli or dosa,roti's or use it to flavor a variety of dishes and upkari's.Its so delicious that you can have it endlessly just on its own.Here i used to flavor one of my favorite vegetable brinjal.You can use any variety of brinjal but the one i used here are the small,round green ones.They are slightly sweeter and not at all bitter.You can also stuff the brinjal with this powder and cook it with shallots.That is also one of my favorite dish.
